How Allah Dishonored his “Prophet” The Quran acknowledges Jesus’ family members as the greatest of all beings, and honors his blessed mother as the greatest woman ever created: Lo! Allah preferred Adam and Noah and the Family of Abraham and the Family of ‘Imran above (all His) creatures . They were descendants one of another. Allah is Hearer, Knower. (Remember) when the wife of ‘Imran said : My Lord! I have vowed unto Thee that which is in my belly as a consecrated (offering)

The Holy Bible is emphatically clear that Jesus is God’s unique Son who is the perfect image of God, being the exact representation of God’s infinite, uncreated Being: “And Jesus cried out and said, ‘He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me. He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me .’” John 12:44-45 New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB1995) “‘If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him .’ P

In Islam, the fashioning of idols, images, pictures etc. are condemned. And according to the ahadith , Allah on the day of judgment will demand of all those who made such images to breathe a soul/life into these idols/pictures, something that they won’t be able to do:  Ibn ‘Umar reported Allah’s Messenger having said: Those who paint pictures would be punished on the Day of Resurrection and it would be said to them: Breathe soul into what you have created . ( Sahih Muslim , B

In agreement with God’s true Word, “And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, a nd the Spirit like a dove descending upon him : and there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Mark 1:10-11 Authorized King James Version (AV) “that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spir

There is a saying found in both Matthew and Luke, which scholars have called the “Synoptic Johannine Thunderbolt.” The reason being is that it sounds like a statement that someone would most likely find in John’s Gospel. Certain scholars even think that these words of Jesus are actually derived from a common source employed by Matthew and Luke typically referred to as “Q” ( quelle ), the German word for “saying”. It is believed that this hypothetical source was a collection o

Arian polemicist and the founder of Christian Witnesses of Jah Greg Stafford cites the following passage where the Angel asks YHWH how long would he show no compassion to Judah in order to prove that the Angel isn’t omniscient: “So they answered the angel of Yahweh who was standing among the myrtle trees and said, ‘We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth is sitting still and quiet.’ Then the angel of Yahweh answered and said , “O Yahweh of hosts, how long will

Often one will find critics of the Trinity and/or Deity of Christ appealing to our Lord’s professed ignorance of the day or hour of his rising in judgment against Jerusalem and the Temple to either prove he is a mere creature, or that he isn’t fully God in the same sense that the Father is: “But of that day or hour no one knows ( oiden ), not even the angels in heaven,  nor the Son , but the Father alone.” Mark 13:32 “But of that day and hour no one knows ( oiden ), not even

How A Sheep Trumped Allah and His “Messenger” Muhammad stated that his lord would make sure to preserve the scriptures from corruption: Verily We: It is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur’an) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption). S. 15:9 Hilali-Khan Muhammad further claimed that the Quran can never be falsified: Verily, those who disbelieved in the Reminder (i.e. the Qur’an) when it came to them (shall receive the punishment). And verily, it is an honour

In this post, I am going to address the feeble attempt by certain Muhammadan scholars and apologists to undermine the report from Aisha that a sheep devoured the only copy which contained the verses of stoning adulterers, and of women breastfeeding men. I already wrote a post on this specific issue, which can be accessed here: ( /2019/09/28/a-docile-beast-falsifies-the-quran-how-a-sheep-trumped-allah-and-his-messenger/ ) .

This is a post from Catholic Apologist Dave Armstrong, which I salvaged from archive.org : https://web.archive.org/web/20061028053056/socrates58.blogspot.com/2006/08/2-corinthians-521-was-jesus-christ.html . 2 Corinthians 5:21: Was Jesus Christ Literally Made Sin on the Cross?

In this short post I will be citing several commentaries on Daniel 8:11-14 to show its relevance to Hanukkah. All emphasis shall be mine. af. Daniel 8:11   sn  The  prince of the army  may refer to God (cf. “whose sanctuary” later in the verse) or to the angel Michael (cf.  12:1 ). ag. Daniel 8:11   tn  Or perhaps “and by him,” referring to Antiochus rather than to God. ah. Daniel 8:11   sn  Here the  sanctuary  is a reference to the temple of God in Jerusalem. ai. Daniel 8:1

Leviticus 16 mentions the scapegoat which on the day of atonements ( yom ha’kippurim ) would be chosen to carry away the sins of Israel into the wilderness: “He must also take two male goats from the congregation of the Israelites for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering. Then Aaron is to present the sin-offering bull which is for himself and is to make atonement on behalf of himself and his household. Next he must take the two goats and stand them before the LORD 

I cite from St. Augustine’s The Enchiridion , in order to illustrate how this blessed saint of the Church interpreted the phrase in 2 Cor. 5:21 that Jesus was made sin to mean that Christ came into the flesh so as to become a sacrifice for our sins. All emphasis will be mine. Chapter 41. Christ, Who Was Himself Free from Sin, Was Made Sin for Us, that We Might Be Reconciled to God. Begotten and conceived, then, without any indulgence of carnal  lust , and therefore bringing w

In two passages, the Apostle Paul depicts Christ’s death in respect to the OT sacrificial system, employing a particular Greek term which the Greek rendering of the Hebrew Bible applies for the offerings made for sins. The texts in question are:   “That which the Law, weakened by the flesh, was unable to do, God has done. By sending his own Son in the likeness of our sinful nature as a sin offering (peri hamartias) , he condemned sin in the flesh.” Romans 8:3 New Catholic Bib

The God-breathed Scriptures teach that Jesus became sin for us so that we might become righteous in God’s sight:   “that is, God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself,  not counting their trespasses against them , and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. So we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him   to be sin ( hyper hemon   hamartian epoiesen ) who k

This will be a very short post. According to the Aramaic paraphrase of Micah 4:8, the Messiah was hidden from Israel because of their sins: וְאַתְּ מְשִׁיחָא דְיִשְׂרָאֵל דְטָמִיר מִן קֳדָם חוֹבֵי כְנִשְׁתָּא דְצִיוֹן לָךְ עֲתִידָא מַלְכוּתָא לְמֵיתֵי וְיֵיתֵי שִׁלְטוֹנָא קַדְמָאָה לְמַלְכוּת כְּנִשְׁתָּא דִירוּשְׁלֵם: And you, O anointed one (Messiah) of Israel, who have been hidden away because of the sins of the congregation of Zion, the kingdom shall come to you , and the

In this post I will prove that Muhammad was confused about the actual names attributed to the Scriptures of the Jews and Christians, and would jumble up their titles by mistakenly attributing a specific term to the wrong book. All emphasis is mine. THE TALMUD IS THE TORAH Muhammad is reported to have said that the Torah warns fathers who do not marry off their daughters when they reach the age of 12, and therefore sin as a result, shall be guilty: Abu Sa‘id and Ibn ‘Abbas rep

In this article I will provide further proofs for Christ being identified as the God of Israel. The Gospels record Jesus’ riding on the foal of a donkey as he made his way to the Temple for the express purpose of fulfilling [O]ld [T]estament prophecy: “And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Beth′phage, to the Mount of Olives , then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, ‘Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find an ass tied, and a colt with

More Muhammadan Inconsistencies Exposed A common tactic that Muhammadan polemicists employ against Christians is to cite disbelieving rabbis and/or disbelieving liberal biblical scholars to undermine the use of [O]ld [T]estament prophecies concerning Jesus Christ. Muslims will try to shut done any OT text cited by the [N]ew [T]estament writers or Christians in affirmation of the Deity of the Messiah and/or his vicarious death by appealing to the objections and/or interpretati
